If you peregrinate to this trade fair it is consequential to have an open mind since it is a different country, with a different language and customs that can be peculiar. Endeavor to get your inscription in advance, it customarily becomes an authentic mess if you register the same day and take a photo type card for your credential. If you optate to attend we can offer you all the logistics to make the most of your stay in China and have a productive visit to it.

1.- Canton Fair is not a business, it is a fair to amass contacts and company denominations, catalogs of products, etc. Optimize the time to the maximum since the capacity is brobdingnagian and already unlike the language gloms some time in translation and attentions. We are sure that you optate to peregrinate as much as you can. Be sure to additionally have weight availability in your luggage since you are going to bring enough material on paper, or provide your shipment by cargo.

In Pinchili we can offer you the guide and translation Services to make your business a prosperity.

3.- In China the business cards will distribute them with both hands, receive it equipollently. Do not preserve it immediately, or put it in the back pocket of the pants, or in the wallet that you are going to insert that pocket, it is considered offensive since it seems that you optate to “sit” on them. Keep it in your hand, read it or put it in a front pocket.

4.- Always greet first the one of more preponderant hierarchy or age, this type of attention is very paramount for them.

5.- Laugh! (Without aggrandizements) even in the world of business the Chinese are very amicable and open to people who are ecstatic and greet with a smile.

6.- Endeavor not to attend your solo. The Chinese do not take into account a single entrepreneur, on the contrary they come with more interest to a group or delegation, inspires them more confidence and credibility.

7.- Do not verbalize about politics. China is a communist country, and albeit many adolescent people disaccord with this system of regime many older people still idolize the bellwether of the Chinese Communist Party Mao TseTung.

8.- If the subject of the victuals causes you calm stress, the Cantonese pabulum is very good, very akin to the Chinese aliment that we ken. Some dishes are spicier than others but rarities are customarily optically discerned in popular markets rather than in restaurants. Or if you optate we can avail you cull where to victual.

9.- If they invite you to victual it is good to ken that the first thing they Servicese you are jasmine tea and from there they are bringing dishes. You should victual all the rice; in China it is thought that it is lamentable fortuity to leave rice in the cup. Do not even tip, it’s offensive.

10.- If you already ken a customer or supplier and optate to take care of a gift, never give away watches, umbrellas or anything that comes in games of four. For the Chinese giving a time exhibiter can mean wishing death, an umbrella that may not be optically discerned again and 4 is considered ill-starred.

If you are female, do not expect much courtesy from the Chinese (nor from Asians in general) the best example is the utilization of the elevator, just open the doors enter and away. They will not give you a preferential step. Endeavor to be accompanied by others and do not wear revealing or incitant apparel, it is not well visually perceived by the Chinese. Verbally Expressing thank you is very facile (xié xié) and they appreciate your interest in learning from them.
